In “Rainbow,” George Harris delivers an unforgettable narrative that intertwines the lives of two young people one Black, one white who meet in the deeply segregated American South. Against the backdrop of the Civil Rights era, this powerful, sometimes harrowing, and ultimately inspiring novel tests the barriers of race, the wounds of history, and the redemptive power of human connection.
From the Mason-Dixon Line's symbolic division to the heated streets of the 1960s Freedom Movement, “Rainbow” is both a sweeping historical reflection and an intimate personal journey. Anthony Brooks, a young Black man yearning to escape the back-breaking life of a sharecropper's son, crosses paths with Linda, a white girl from a privileged Southern family. What begins as a simple act of kindness between them will ripple through their lives in ways they could never have imagined challenging every societal norm and personal belief they've ever known.
Through striking storytelling, Harris explores not just the ugly scars of racism, but also the courage, tenderness, and tenacity of those who dared to cross the “lines” drawn by others. The novel draws readers into the emotional realities of both worlds—Black and white—and forces them to confront uncomfortable truths about America's past and its lingering echoes in the present.
“Rainbow is about more than race it's about humanity,” says Harris. “It's about how love, compassion, and understanding can break down the most fortified walls, if only we are brave enough to try.”
This isn't just a novel for history lovers; it's a must-read for anyone who has ever questioned injustice, defied prejudice, or dared to hope for a better future. Harris writes in a way that feels real and heartfelt, pulling you in and reminding you that the true beauty of a rainbow comes from all its colors coming together.
